Salvatore Pecoraro

Salvatore Pecoraro's career as a California artist/teacher spans over five decades. Beginning as a painter in the 60s, his work has always strived to be innovative using the latest techniques and materials in ways that challenged viewers to see obvious things in different ways. Pecoraro's early work evolved from an interest in transmitting light in paintings of the sky to an interest in making constructions that highlight colors, shapes and objects in a spectrum of prisms. Pecoraro, who is of Italian heritage, credits a trip to Italy in 1983 with the idea of creating wall constructions in marble. This experience exploded into a 14-year quest to combine his painting skills with new exposure to the world of sculpture.

Pecoraro's work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationwide and is part of many corporate, private and public art collections, including the permanent collections of the Oakland, San Jose and La Jolla Museums in California.
